3D Cell Culture: A Realistic and Reproducible Collagen-Based Environment
20 Nov 2013Classical two-dimensional (2D) cell culture is a well-proven technique that is used widely in biological assays, drug screening and many other research areas. However, researchers are increasingly turning to three-dimensional (3D) cell culture techniques, due to the improved physiological relevance of the cellular environment. This application note describes a method developed to automate the process of preparation for RAFT cell cultures.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
